What's better-Double or Bolt??
      20/05/07 11:29 AM

Read an interesting article in African Hunter
"What's better, Double or Bolt??"

http://www.african-hunter.com/bolt_action_vs_double.htm

The author a bolt guy says he may try a Double one day but has concerns--

1)??Range concerns and lack of flexibility??
Exactly what ranges does he want to shoot DG at?
Do solids and softs not impact closely?
Don't medium caliber Doubles have extended range!!

2) Reloading-
Was the reloading test faster for the bolt?? Read and find out!!

3)Reliability
The Double is a low pressure system and he found cases got stuck--

3)Expense
The Double was more expensive--

So now all you guys need to be getting rid of those old Double relics and give them to me before bolt guy fusses at you!!

Opinions anyone??
